A dazzling light display that has lit up a Blackpool street for almost a decade will return in November, but will operate on reduced-hours because of soaring energy costs.

The family home on Condor Grove has been decorated every Christmas since 2013 to raise money for sick children.

Ashley Forward, 28, said it usually costs around £500 to fund the lights over the festive period between Nov 14 and Jan 03. This comes out of his own pocket, with all donations from the public going to Brian House children’s hospice.
